Call of Duty Black Ops 4 doesn’t have a single-player campaign – but it does have an egregious season pass.
The Black Ops Pass, as it’s called, includes a bonus zombies experience available at launch, four additional zombies experiences, four exclusive Blackout (battle royale) characters and 12 multiplayer maps. Activision has yet to announce how much the Black Ops Pass will cost.
It’s the 12 multiplayer maps part that has Call of Duty fans shaking their heads, as it means Activision’s first-person shooter series continues to split its competitive-focused userbase between those who pay and those who don’t.
All this at a time when Call of Duty’s first-person shooter rivals such as Battlefield and Battlefront 2 release multiplayer maps for free. Even Destiny 2, which is also published by Activision, does not split its userbase when it comes to competitive multiplayer maps.
